That looks like a fun/fast little Polo you have yourself there Robin, pretty torquey by the looks.

FWD all the way in those conditions at Oulton; Your car looked really stable and manageable through Druids compared to the squirming RWD crowd; What tyres were you running on?

Any pictures of the car, i'm intrigued.

Nice driving by the way.

thanks.

I was running full slicks in that video so i was quite cautious as it was still very wet off line - ended up changing to A048R's after lunch as it was too wet for full slicks.

Here are a few pics:

with Javelin trackdays?

My friend was going to that with his Mk4 Golf.

How was it? I heard that they had 80 cars signed up so i expect some queuing to go onto track.

What was the weather like?

Another video showing me running out of talent around 18mins into the video...........

Great to see the Polo in action again Robin
that spin really happened so quickly it looked there was nothing you could do to save it?

After the spin you got right back on it, isn't that difficult to do, in terms of confidence?

I know that when I've had a bit of a moment in the S it makes me so over-cautious for a few miles at least

Not really - I guess I know what I did wrong so I try to change the way I tackle the corner on the next lap. I also guess it's because I am not massively worried about stuffing the car into a barrier - when I spun the s2000 at cascades I did wind my neck in and took it very slowly for the next few laps.

Hi Robin,

No, I was just going to watch a few Exiges on the track. The weather was TERRIBLE and a few cars did the odd pirouette
